Exceptional Level of Expertise in Employment Law

Alan has proven himself over the years to be a very knowledgeable, patient, respectable, diligent and caring lawyer during some very frustrating years. Many lawyers, prior to finding Alan, didn’t want to even take my case, which speaks to Alan’s exceptional level of expertise in employment law When ...initially speaking with Alan about my case and learning about the details it was very clear that my wrongful discharge case clearly fell within the bounds of the law regardless of “at will” employment laws due to the clear violations of public policy that were present in my situation. Alan’s confidence and support allowed me to stay the course throughout the entire process providing constant communication, support and insight on the workings of the judicial system. When beginning our trek, our initial arguments went through the department of workforce development and so started some of the most frustrating months of my life. Alan was always there with reassurance, insight and support as I learned the processes and steps necessary as we worked towards a solution. Though this portion of our trek didn’t end as I would have liked, Alan was just as determined as the first day we met to bring my case to trial. A new stretch of trail evolved over the next three years. As we moved into our next stages Alan was just as focused on getting results and even though I was very frustrated and disappointed with the non-responses from the department of workforce development, Alan had a strong argument of the violation of public policies surrounding auto insurance and my wrongful termination. We were moving forward successfully. Alan’s demeanor and confidence in court is clearly visible in his communications written and orally to the courts and with opposing counsel. His mannerisms and non-verbal communications showed strength and confidence in this case, and was very reassuring. His clear and consistent communications with me, even late into the evenings when I was feeling nervous and anxious, was always patient, reassuring and supportive. Though I never want to go through an experience like this again, I know who to call! Alan helped me not only find closure for my bad experience as we came down to a settlement in the mediation process, he taught me about the processes of the system that if I did need an employment lawyer again, or anyone I knew, he would be the only one on my list. I would not hesitate to high recommend Alan to anyone.

Small Town Employee vs International Company

Alan provided great guidance on how to handle my case. He articulated the holes in the companys position and used their own depositions and testimony to win my case. He truly is one who can can give the best possible legal assistance for employees who take on companies that have unlimited resour...ces. Alan did an incredible job!

Highly Recommended, very successful and professional

I hired Attorney Olson due to racial discrimination and constructive discharge at work. He is very professional and knowledgeable. He negotiated with my employer and reached a settlement within a very short period of time. I was very satisfeid and highly recommend Attorney Olson.

Phenomenal, effective and strategic representation

My employer engaged unethical tactics and unfounded accusations in anticipation of a politically motivated layoff to encourage me to leave the company voluntarily. By leaving voluntarily, I would have forfeited earned commissions and the employer would have avoided a severance payout. Alan took... the time to listen to the entire situation and put together an all-encompassing strategy, laying the groundwork so we could file suit and recover what was rightfully owed to me if a lawsuit became necessary. However, his opening letter to my employer and subsequent negotiations with them were so effective that he was able to recover everything I was owed without filing a lawsuit. Additionally, he persuaded my employer to refund all of my attorney fees as part of the severance settlement. I hope this is a once-in-a-lifetime situation, but if I ever needed an employment attorney again, I would not choose anyone else. In my profession, I frequently negotiate with attorneys, so I have a strong basis for evaluating Alan’s performance. If you need an employment attorney, you need Alan.
